Profile:

Mohammad Ashraful burst on to the international scene in the Asian Test Championship in September 2001, with a century on his Test debut against Sri Lanka which made him the youngest batsman ever to score a Test hundred. Aged just 17 years and 63 days , he beat the 30-year-old record set by Mushtaq Mohammad of Pakistan, who made his first Test century aged 17 years and 81 days. Ashraful also broke the record set two months earlier by Zimbabwe's Hamilton Masakadza (17 years 354 days) for being the youngest batsman to score a century on Test debut.

Ashraful, a diminutive right-hander, first caught the eye in a one-day match against the Commonwealth Bank Academy of Cricket, with a relentless batting assault that was watched by, amongst others, Akram Khan who was playing for the opposition. Ashraful finished with an unbeaten century. He also won admirers for his performance in Asian Under-17 cricket. The 69 he made against India in the final was enthralling, although Bangladesh eventually had to be content with the runners-up trophy.

Ashraful began his career as a specialist leg-spinner, but later focused on his batting. His leg-spin does not look hostile, but is nevertheless effective. In Zimbabwe in 2001 he played a single ODI, dismissing Andy Flower. He showed courage with the bat after a shaky start; he twice smashed Bryan Strang over the boundary, but got out attempting a third.
